Turnaround Management Advisors and Loan Workout Consulting
Typically, a company in financial trouble can expect to go through five stages to turn the business around:
Cambridge Financial Services, LLC has a strong and long standing reputation as experts in consulting with financially troubled companies. Often, the engagement of a specialist will immediately enhance credibility and assist the firm in negotiations with lenders and suppliers.
Stage 01: Engagement of the Architect
In this stage the company engages a turnaround consultant or interim management team such as Cambridge Financial, to put in place the talent to lead the turnaround effort.
Stage 02: Situational Analysis
The objectives of this stage are to see if the business can be saved (i.e. viability analysis), to identify the most appropriate type of turnaround strategy to employ and to develop a plan to implement such strategy.
Stage 03: Crisis Intervention
Emergency action to ensure organization survival. This includes action to establish a positive cash flow, the raising of additional funding and negotiations with critical stakeholders to buy time.
Stage 04: Business Restructuring
Focus shifts to longer term strategies for enhanced profitability and a restructured balance sheet to assure long term positive investor performance.
Stage 05: Return To Normal
The enterprise should be poised to take advantage of other opportunities for growth and to attract the management talent to replace the turnaround architect group.
